Openshift hosting

I use openshift for hosting. I don't think they support FTP. Can I continue this lesson without using it?

Nope, you need FTP and database access to manually install WordPress. Inquire if they have a 1 click WordPress install or can do it for you, otherwise you may want to look into a hosting account with basic FTP, DB, etc offerings.

It seems like openshift is used more for apps. I'm using bluehost now and everything is making more sense. Thanks, Zac!
